Now that we know a blizzard is on the way...

#WinterStormNamath is gonna hit. It is. Now that we know we're gonna get at least a foot and most likely 18-20", what can you do today to prepare.

Are you low on gas? We're talking less than a quarter tank, not people who top up with already three-quarters of a tank. Don't do that unless you live in the sticks. You ned extra gas for a day if you get stuck to keep warm, not a week.

Check on the elderly or those who might not be able to get to a store today. Can you help them empty the stores with your friends and neighbors and lay in a few provisions? If you're a great citizen you can help with shoveling their walks after the storm.

Pets, pets cannot handle this type of storm like a 2-4" storm. This will have 50mph winds and two feet of snow in some places. Get the pets inside.

If you're from New Jersey put your windshield wipers on your car up before bed. If you're not from New Jersey, don't.

Double check the fuel in your generators now to prevent sadness later.

Plan on clearing your snow but do be safe about it. Don't be a heart attack victim. Maybe paying a neighbor kid 10 or 20$ could work out.

Johnny will be broadcasting here and on Twitter to help keep spirits up and the hell storm closes in and people flee for their lives until the end comes. So smile!

It's Earth Day and you know what that means; The Hoboken Earth Day Tire Fire and BBQ!

Residents all over Hoboken are putting on their Tuesday best clothes and heading on down to Sinatra Drive for the annual Earth Day Tire Fire and BBQ!

The Hoboken FD has been collecting tires from the Hudson River all year for this year's Tire Fire theme: "Rubber in the River". Over 1000 tires will be lit as residents and visitors sing with special emcee Sooty the Clown to the Deep Purple classic, 'Smoke on the Water'. A spokesperson for the Hoboken Fire Department tells the Jersey City Desk this year's fire should set the record and burn past the June 5th record.

Other events are planned of course today all over Hoboken including a burning tire roll down First St., The Hoboken Conservatory of Science will have a special booth set up for kids called "So you wanna light your first tire..." full of tips on safe ways to handle gasoline and matches. The Cake Boss will deliver a special cake in the shape of burning smoking tires to Mayor Dawn Zimmer before the annual pushing of the burning tire pyres out into the Hudson River.

So come on out to FuHo today, bring the kids and tell the neighbors as this wonderful piece of Americana steps off once again. Free admission if you bring a tire.
